Owned and operated by the passionate and creative Meg and Manny, Art Shed has been inspiring creativity since 2007. The iconic Brisbane business has a physical store in West End, as well as an online store that offers art and crafts lovers all their favourite supplies delivered right to their door. The store has been pivotal in changing the face of art supplies in Queensland and across Australia, making art affordable for everyone.
Art Shed approached BA to move their online store from Magento to Shopify. As Shopify Experts, we were excited to take on the challenge, investigating how to overcome Shopify’s policy of no more than 100 variants, implement hex colour values for certain products and create a dynamic connection between REX and Shopify.
The site was successfully migrated to Shopify and a dynamic connection was created between REX and the store. To get around Shopify’s variant limits, we created collections that appeared to be products. We also implemented an automated filter and dynamic search, as well as multiple blog types and newsletter sign up.
The Brisbane icon now has a fresh online presence that is functional and easy to update for staff. The new site keeps the Art Shed personality, with a user friendly interface and simpler shopping experience for customers.
